Chicago, Feb. 15.--In addition to forcing from Raymond J. Rischoft and his associates the remarkable story of how he had started out two years ago with virtually nothing and ended up with liabilities estimated at $5,000,000, judge Landis succeeded in locating six safety-deposit boxes, which may help solve the question of'what became of the money. The investigation followed appointment of a receiver. That wasn't all. The judge also jarred from the "financial -vizard" the admission that he was a deserter from the United States army and, finally, he Issued restraining orders preventing BischofTs relatives.

In many cases It may be feasible to grow all the fruit needed, but only that which automobiles and the eootents of the! limitations, au« iue -- -- , safety-deposit boxes. can be most readily produced. Among the fruits that may be grown throughout the greater part of the country are apples, pears, peaches, plums, strawberries, blackberries and dewberries. Raspberries, currants, cherries, quinces, apricots, flgs and citrus fruits are more or less restricted to special localities. In colder sections the winters are too severe for peaches and all the fruits requiring a warm .climate, while In the warmer sections, apples, currants, gooseberries, raspberries and certain varieties of several of the other fruits fall because they cannot withstand the lon^ hot summers and winters. The plan of the home fruit garden, will, therefore, depend largely upon the kind of fruits adapted to the locality. On the whole, however, the plantings should be so arranged that the larger growing trees such as apple, peach and pear will interfere the least with the cultivation of the smaller fruits or the vegetable garden. In some of the most successful home fruit gardens the larger trees are headed rather high, that Is, 5 or 6 feet to the lower branches, and a row of small fruits are grown dlrectl* In the row of fruit trees. Between the rows of fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries, dewberries and strawberries are planted In rows which are about 8 or 9 feet apart. The vegetables are then grown In the space between these rows of berries. Peach trees are, as a rule, planted as fillers between apple and pear trees. Where the area la extremely limited the semi-dwarf varieties of ap- Strawberriea, First Fruit Season. pies are sometimes recommended. Care should be taken, however, to provide plenty of distance between the large-growing trees, say 40 to 48 feet for apples and 20 to 30 feet for peaches, pears and cherries. Apples, pears, cherries and plums may be planted as combination fruit and shade trees, and by heading them 5 to 7 feet above the ground, a lawn may be maintained underneath them. Plum trees are particularly adapted to planting in a poultry yard, but must be headed reasonably high and the trunks protected by wire netting untlT the trees are four or five years old.

No one knows its true flavor unless he has seen it come smoking hot to the table within an hour after being pulled fltm the stalk. . Bischoff, himself, under questioning by counsel for the Central Trust co«r•" pany, receivers, charged that the failure of Kls personally conducted concern, the Y. O. Oil company of Denver, Colo., came as the result of an alleged "double cross" by Attorney Emil C. Wetten, who, he says, was retained as counsel and chief adviser at $500 a month, but who withdrew from the company at a critical stage. Before bringing Mr. Wetten Into the tangled web of the Inquiry Bischoff, under questioning by Judge Landis, had admitted that half a dozen of his "field agents" or solicitors were present In court. These were ordered taken into custody and sworn aa witnesses by the jurist. The examination, which started out with an attorney questioning Bischoff, quickly turned Into a four-cornered affair, with Judge Landis snooting questions at the twenty-tlve-year-old plunger; his blind stepfather, F. O. Davis, and his mother, Mrs. Davis. Apparently the old people originally had been Innocent victims of- confidence in their aon's wonderful moneymaking schemes. "Don't you realize that the sealskin coat you are wearing came from the pockets of these people out In the yards district?" the judge demanded of Mrs. Davis when she pleaded to retain $5,000 of her own money which, she said, had gone into one of the apartment buildings. "Don't yoo realize that 'at least eleven-twelfths of what you own was realised by tills swindle?" * The woman bowed her head and jut a handkerchief to her eyese. ' * "I realize it now," she said. Previously Davis had recovered Ms memory sufficiently to recall the existence of a $16,000 "emergency fund" In the safety deposit boxes of the Univer sity State bank, and to recall that last Saturday he had visited the office of Attorney James J. Kelle.v, counsel for Bischoff, and had turned over to the latter $5,000 in Liberty bonds at the direction of his stepson. Attorney Kelley admitted receiving the bonds in lieu of a retainer fee and agreed reluctantly to turn the securities over to Attorney James J. Rosenthal of counsel for the receiver, after he had been admonished by Judge Landis that the receipt of the "retainer" had followed the filing of the bankruptcy petition In she forenoon of February 11. The stepfather, who has been blind for years, admitted that Bischoff had used his name to cover up some of the assets of his money. "I thought It was all right,** he said. MI had confidence In him." "Have you still confidence?" asked Judge Landis. "Do you believe, for instance"-- referring to a statement Bischoff had just made--"that, given the chance, he would pay 75 cents on the dollar In six months?" "No," said the blind nian, "i don't think he could." "I don't thiak he could, either," snorted Landl& T ' ^ ^ Old Indiana Marriage Reeerda Reveal What Wauld seen* Blighted Romance^ Examination of old records, especially official records, reveal many humorous writings.
